MODERATORS
They're terrified at the idea of the "lower class" having anything good. They think it takes something away from them. They're terrified of people having good things without "earning" it, even though the rich aren't earning it either
It's like Syndrome in The Incredibles with the "When everyone's super, no one will be." But for them, when everyone has a living wage, social safety net, human rights - they won't be superior to anyone anymore.
And when they're still a failure and not even superior to anyone who has it worse… who are they anymore?

The only thing I would alter is "college for all those that want it". However, this would also include "trades training and paid apprenticeships to those that want it".
Also, why not toss in a UBI?

I'm a socialist!
If you see this and think these things are bad things to have in your country, you are seriously fucked in the head and I hope you die a horrible death from colon cancer.
I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have a link to a stream of this show's segment? I tried Googling for it, but came up with nothing. I'd genuinely like to know what their argument against having these things is. I'm assuming it's the same old "who's going to pay for it" thing, which we all know is silly because we always seem to have plenty of money for wars, bailouts, subsidizes for corps/billionaires, etc. Still I'd like to hear their fearmongering talking points on this one.

Socialism will give you scary big dicks

Don't tease me with a good time.
"Unfortunately, it doesn't say anything about slaughtering the people we hate, so it's a no go." - MAGA
Damn so scary. It sure would be horrible to have a good job support supporting the environment, while also having healthcare, education and fair wages at my Disposal. And free Palestine at that.
"None of this actually works because we pay tons of people to convince you we can't try it"
